Foal

Description

Ophelia’s mother, the society animal painter Winifred Joan Ophelia Gordon Bell, often travelled up to Windermere from London with the young Ophelia to stay with her sisters, who had a house at Heathwaite; and she would often paint the horses and  foals which could be seen in the fields above the town. This tiny four inch high figure of a young foal is a three-dimensional counterpart to the sort of watercolour paintings Winifred produced.
